Review – Beautiful Mistakes by Cora Kent #corakent #beautifulmistakes

Goodreads

Beautiful Mistakes by Cora Kent is the first book in the Twisted Sisters series. After reading it, I can hardly wait to see what Cora will come up with next. The first book is Raiden and Lucrezia’s story and to say it is a dark romance is putting it mildly.

Lucrezia was born into the Catiglione family, the most powerful of the Midwest mafia, but her father and brother never had an ounce of respect for her. She was shipped off to a convent in Italy, and now she’s back with a vengeance. She recruits Raiden Drake.

“I need the best the Destroyers have to offer…And I’m told that’s you.”

I love Lucrezia. To say she is a firecracker is to underestimate her. She is more like a bottle rocket. She has no fear. I wondered about Kristopher. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but I got a lot more than I anticipated. I love how Cora Kent handled the situation.

When God made me he broke the mold.

I love that The Twisted Sisters series have recurring characters and each story can stand alone. Beautiful Mistakes is told from multiple characters points of view. It’s an enemy to lovers romance. There are lots of triggers, so beware. Myself, I love the dark. I definitely have my eye on Cora.

I want to thank her for the opportunity to read and review Beautiful Mistakes.

I was born a Castiglione—once the most powerful name in the Midwest mafia. But that all changed when my brother banished me to a convent in Italy, erasing me from his empire like I never existed.

Five years later, I’m back. And I’m not here to beg for forgiveness—I’m here to destroy everything he built.

But I can’t do it alone.

Raiden Drake is dangerous and untouchable—the Destroyers’ most ruthless enforcer. He doesn’t follow the rules; he bends them, and anyone who defies him bleeds for it. Relationships and loyalty mean nothing to him unless they’re earned in blood. He’s exactly what I need: the man who will help me bring Saverio to his knees.

There’s just one problem—Raiden doesn’t take orders. He wants everything. My body. My mind. My soul. And once he claims them, there’s no going back.

In the game of vengeance, there’s only one rule: never fall for the devil you’ve unleashed. But what happens when the devil is the only one who can save your soul?

Each book in The Twisted Sisters series can be read as a standalone novel.

Note: Beautiful Mistakes is Raiden and Lucrezia’s story.

  • Genre: Dark Romance, Fiction, Romance, Suspense, Thriller

Cora Kent fell for her first villain before she even knew what romance was. Ever since Scar was denied a happily ever after, she’s been on a mission to give all the dark, dangerous anti-heroes the endings they deserve. If the Big Bad Wolf had swept Little Red off her feet, it might have saved the fairy tale—so that’s exactly what Cora does in her novels: grants her bad boys redemption through passion, power, and the women who can handle them.

When she’s not spinning tales of morally gray heroes and forbidden desires, you’ll find her snuggled up with her cat, sipping a margarita, and watching Grey’s Anatomy.

Dark Romance – Ruthless Sinner by Cora Kent #corakent

Amazon / Goodreads

I received Cora Kent’s newsletter with an invitation to grab an ARC from BookSprout. I am so glad I did. Ruthless Sinner is a dark, very dark, romance, and I do love walking on the dark side. There are many triggers, so check it out thoroughly before grabbing a copy for yourself.

We meet Adalina Martinelli in the bar, where she runs into Dante and their dance has begun. What doesn’t kill her will definitely make her stronger.

The level of cruelty and brutality heaped on her knows no bounds. Everywhere she turns, someone is torturing her. I want to reach through my reader and take them out myself, especially her father. I hope he gets what he deserves. Dante brings out the worst in her through his dark and twisted version of love. Steamy scenes, they are sizzling hot and I surprise myself with how much I am loving the book.

I want more of The Terlizzis world.

  • Series: The Terlizzis, Book I

Cora Kent’s first love was Scar and she was devastated when he didn’t get a happily ever after. That’s why all her books feature villains, dark romance, and a hint of the forbidden.

Ever since she was a kid, Cora has rooted for the bad guy. If the Big Bad Wolf ate out Little Red Riding Hood, it would have made for a better story–which is why all her books have a happily ever after for the morally grey anti-hero who will move heaven and earth for his woman.

When Cora isn’t living out her fantasies through writing, she’s hanging out with her cat, drinking margaritas, and reminding her husband that the trash goes out on Sunday nights.
